ReadyNas 3200 and Netgear GS724TS switch
What's going to be my best performance setup for my home network for DLNA streaming (likely to add Plex media servers too) and general file sharing and backups.
I just upgraded to 4.2.22 and have a managed network switch Netgear GS724TS (Boot Version - 1.0.1.5 Software Version - V5.0.0.21).
I messed with setup up IEEE802.3ad LACP for about 3 hours and lost connection to the NAS multiple times, had several reboots of the both the NAS and the switch.. At the end of pulling my hair out, I was just happy to have access to my NAS again.. I'm concerned the NAS is showing Ethernet 1+2 "Online (Redundant) / 2 Gbit / Full-Duplex" configured IEEE802.3ad LACP xmit_hash_policy: Layers 3+4. BUT I have nothing configured on the switch for LAG support..
Apparently I know enough to be dangerous, and at this point I'm afraid to reboot anything.

- bonded network connections is not going to make any difference for dlna streaming unless you are streaming several dozen clients.
bonded requires managed switched configured to support the lacp links on both ports.
essentially you need to configure the switch to create a LAG group for the 2 ports utilized by the nas.
I would suggest you start with only a single cable plugged in, get the LAG group configured for the first port and make sure your nas is still connecting properly, then add the 2nd port to the lag group, apply/save the config, and plug in the 2nd port.
